Answer:

explain the goals of taxonomy?

The main aim of taxonomy is to identify, characterise, classify and give specific names to all the living organisms according to their characteristics. Plants and animals are classified into different taxa, e.g. kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.

What scientific evidence is used to group organisms?

Scientists use pieces of evidence such as the organism's morphological structure and evolutionary descent. The gathered evidence is illustrated using either a cladogram or a dichotomous key in order to classify and to identify the organisms.
